Also, are you sure that your lack of Flash support precludes emulation?  Maybe web-based emulators, but I don't think standalone retro console emulators typically use Flash, do they?  I would imagine your bigger issue would be finding emulators that can run on iOS.

I don't have enough skill to emulate. Plus, how would you even go about it with an iPad? It would be touch based as well so the controls would suck...

 

Dude, it doesn't take any skill to emulate.  It's just a matter of finding the emulator for the system you want.

And no, it wouldn't be integrated into your touch controls; the emulators I've used let you bind your controls to keyboard or gamepad or whatever device you want.  That's the point of emulation - it may not be compatible with iOS, but it doesn't really care what hardware or peripherals you use.  Does your iPad have USB ports?  If so, just get yourself a generic gamepad with a USB plug.  That's what I use for emulated Mega Drive games on my PC.

And since I don't want to get into trouble, I should state for the record that yes... I still own my Mega Drive and games.  They're all stuffed into a cabinet, but I own them.  Emulation is just more convenient for me.
